DisplaySync

Account setup

You're about to set up the Lakeshore AV account so the team can start planning the Spring Vendor Showcase. Account creation is a few minutes; the dashboard hands you a free-tier organization to start from.

Sign up

Go to app.displaysync.live/sign-up. You have two options for account creation:

  • Email + password — the standard path. Enter your email, pick a password, submit.
  • Sign in with Google — single click; uses your Google identity. Works for both creating a new account and signing in later.

Either path lands you in the same place once you complete it.

Email verification

If you signed up with email + password, a verification email arrives within a minute. Click the link in the email to confirm the address. The link expires in 24 hours; if you miss the window, request a new one from the sign-in screen.

Google sign-in skips this step — Google has already verified the email.

What you land in after first sign-in

What happens on your first successful sign-in depends on how you got there:

  • You signed up directly. DisplaySync creates a free-tier organization named after you (e.g. "Jane Smith's Org"). You're the org owner. Rename it anytime from Organization → Settings.
  • You accepted an invite. You join the inviting organization with whatever role the inviter granted (owner, admin, or member). The free-tier-org-named-after-you doesn't get created; you start inside the org that invited you.

For Lakeshore AV, the founder signs up directly — DisplaySync creates a free-tier org called "Jane's Org" or similar, and she renames it to "Lakeshore AV" right after.

Free tier at a glance

The free tier is generous enough to do real work but capped to keep evaluation contained:

  • 1 event active at a time
  • 3 signs total in the org
  • 2 team members total

For Lakeshore AV planning Spring Vendor Showcase 2026 — 40 signs and a team of 5 — the free tier isn't enough. They'll need to upgrade before deploying. Tier limits, full feature comparison, and the upgrade flow are all on Pricing tiers.

The free tier is great for evaluating DisplaySync end to end on a single sign before committing. Lakeshore's recommendation in their internal playbook: run one free-tier sign for a week before the real event, just to validate the pipeline.

What's next

Account ready — time to create your first event: Your first event. If your team is already operating signs and you're just being added to an existing org, you can skip ahead to Operating signs for the day-of playbooks.

Release notes for the desktop sign, web dashboard, and mobile app are published at Release Notes. Check them when troubleshooting or before rolling out updates.
